Looking Ahead

The Raiders will have to shake this one off in a hurry, as they fly back to Oakland to prepare to head back to the Midwest to take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4. The Colts have been pretty solid through the first three weeks of the season, and should present this current Raiders team with problems on the road.

Oakland struggled to stay healthy in Week 3, so that is definitely something to keep an eye on as they move forward. One thing is for sure, this offense needs to be based around Darren Waller and Josh Jacobs, so having both of them at 100 percent for next Sunday will prove crucial for Derek Carr and Jon Gruden.

Starting the season at 1-2 is not something to be proud of, and this last loss was the worst of the two so far this year. They better get their act together in a hurry, because they have the hardest schedule in the NFL, and it is not going to get any easier over the next six weeks.
